  • Allianz Life Insurance Malaysia Berhad (Allianz Life) proudly marked a significant milestone with the graduation of its Allianz Life Changers from the prestigious Allianz Pinnacle Excellence Programme at the INSEAD Asia Campus in Singapore. This achievement underscores the Company’s commitment to developing future-ready leaders in the insurance industry.

  • The two-day event on 23 and 24 February saw a total of 203 top performing agents from across the Asia Pacific region completed the programme, with Malaysia contributing the highest number of graduates at 95, followed by Thailand (29), Taiwan (25), Indonesia (24), China (15), the Philippines (10), and Sri Lanka (5).

  • The programme – which began in September 2024 – exemplifies Allianz Life’s dedication to agent development and leadership excellence. Participation was determined through a rigorous selection process tied to the Allianz C.E.O. Programme. Candidates qualified under three categories: personal sales producers, recruiters, and agency managers.
  • Designed as a hybrid learning experience, the programme combined in-person and online sessions to maximise impact. Participants engaged in four key modules including Communication & Persuasion, Psychology of Customers, Self-Management and Entrepreneurial Mindset & Strategies.

  • Allianz Life Chief Sales Officer, Raymond Cheah said, “The Allianz Pinnacle Excellence Programme at INSEAD has been instrumental in equipping our agents with world-class skills in sales performance, leadership, and client servicing. By investing in continuous learning and development, we empower our agents to drive innovation and deliver exceptional value to customers.”

  • This groundbreaking collaboration establishes Allianz Life as the first insurance company to partner with a globally renowned business school, reinforcing its strategy to attract and develop top-tier agents equipped with world-class business acumen.

  • Encouraged by the success of this cohort, Allianz Life plans to launch a second batch, with qualification criteria to be announced soon. This initiative further cements Allianz Life’s commitment to fostering a new generation of leaders in the insurance industry.
